▪️ COMMENTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Long Build-Up: 74 stocks saw an increase in OI and price, suggesting a build-up of long positions. Major ones: LUPIN, RBLBANK, MFSL, ASIANPAINT, KPITTECH, etc.
• Short Build-Up: 35 stocks saw an increase in OI and a drop in price. Major ones: ADANIPORTS, SUZLON, MARICO, VMM, BEL, etc.
• Short-Covering: 76 stocks saw short-covering, where OI decreased with a price increase. Major ones: HINDUNILVR, TVSMOTOR, VBL, PAYTM, LT, etc.
• Long Unwinding: 23 stocks saw a decline in open interest (OI) along with a fall in price, indicating long unwinding. Major ones: M&M, ANGELONE, NHPC, BAJAJFINSV, PNBHOUSING, etc.
• Nifty Index: The bullish momentum remains intact as long as the index holds above the 24,000 support zone. A decisive breakout above 24,368—coinciding with the 200-day EMA—would confirm strengthening momentum and open the door for an advance towards the 24,500–24,600 zone.
• Fed Effect: The Fed's decision to hold rates was overshadowed by a more hawkish policy message. A rare 9–3 split vote, with three officials favoring an immediate rate hike, signaled rising concerns over persistent inflation. Bond markets reacted swiftly, driving the 10-year Treasury yield towards 4.70% and the 30-year yield to 5.20%, its highest since 2007, as investors reduced expectations of near-term rate cuts.
